The Pro version is $90 but for $55 you can get the small stakes version which is exactly the same but doesn't record cash games over $50nl or tournaments over $22.
If you are only playing small stakes then stick with the $55 version (it's what I still use) as you can always upgrade at a later date.

Have you thought about trying to put together a bankroll proper yet DML?
I know you may just be going to the casinos for fun, but I genuinely think you'll do even better (which I'm sure you do there anyway) if you have a BR, even if it's perhaps a little underrolled.
I'll be heading down the casino next week myself, probably. I think I'll be playing a £15 1R or A which, if I don't out early from, will probably end in me playing the £1/1 cash tables. I've worked very hard on my roll though, so I'm a little nervous having only like £1100 or something. I was thinking about taking £50, but is that pointless? I don't think it'd be horrendous considering that when you go to a particularly passive game, you can see a lot of cheap flops and still be paid off by the OMZGZ TOP PAR types.

lol you can sit with £50 but you have to be prepared to gamble it then leave. Standard hand when playing £1/£2 is 7 people limp £2. I make it £25. 5 folds and 2 callers. Check check, I bet in position and TID.
You might want to try 3bet shoving pre to build that stack.

Yeah I have considered it, but i wouldn't have enough for a live roll, and my computer is too unreliable for me to really want a proper roll online, plus the fact I am up and down the country. When I have a new lptop then I will definitely do it.

Yeah, I played that exact situation a few days ago with the £50 stack. Guys were making it £7 to go pre-flop. You can see how drastically that cuts your options. Rex is right, its gamble or leave.
When I had the A-K the other day, I had already decided if I hit anything it was going in the middle.

Yeah well that's what I was thinking. It's £1/£1 btw, def not £1/2. I hate playing with reduced options, but I know I'm going to get called a lot when I hit, so I may just gamble the £50, work up to £100 or bust, then work from there.
Then again, if everyone is sat on £100, I'll sit on that as well. No point if the game is softish. Just quite a big shot.

I heard about it on this week's edition of the Final Table podcast with Dennis Phillips.
It's retarded.

That's awesome
Just qualified for the miniFTOPs event 2 - $26PL Omaha Knockout tourney. $50k GTD and cost me $7 to get in, so happy days.
I have like $60 in FT and probably going to try to win tickets into miniFTOPS events this week.

I bloody love it when donks give me value to call. This guy just bet an 1/8th of the pot on the flop (less than his pre-flop raise), where I just had a gutshot, I call to bluff on the turn, considering how weak he looks. I hit an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw on the turn, bluff at it, he calls, I hit my straight on the river and he pushes with his now mid-pair (top pair on the flop). Then he goes mental, calling me a donk! (
). I hope it's a lesson in bet sizing for him.

I played a few games yesterday and had horrible run bad (for once
). In one tournament I got it in on the turn twice in a row as ~75% favourite and lost both times, to the same guy as well. It was a $22 MTT, close to the money, and I had a decent stack so would have been in great shape if they had held.
I'm trying to earn enough VPP's for another $50 stellar bonus and also possibly enough to get goldstar this month. At the moment I need 1788 for the bonus which is perfectly doable with the games I play, but the 2780 for Goldstar will be a bit tougher. It's equivalent to 506 $12 180mans, or 22 a day.
I best get started then...

Gl sat! I think I could be able to grind GS out through cash this month, but I need 2500 points still.
Just played a large session of 6-tabling Omaha $10, ended up 3 buy-ins. People have no idea what odds are
